Get to know the jewelry repair jargon before dropping off your piece of jewelry to get fixed.


You look down at your hand and a diamond is missing from your engagement ring. You’re playing with your dog and a paw snags and breaks your chain. Your gold bracelet isn’t as secure as it once was and the latch continues to come apart. Don’t panic!


At Les Olson Jewelers in Palm Harbor, we fix jewelry of all kinds. The majority of your fine jewelry has remedies that we can work on. Just like going to a dentist, we recommend coming in as soon as you notice an issue instead of waiting for it to become a bigger issue. It is a lot more cost effective to fix a broken prong than replacing a missing gemstone.


Understand what is happening to your precious jewelry so you can feel comfortable dropping it off for Les Olson Jewelers onsite jewelry repairs. We breakdown the following in the jewelry repair 101 guide:

GENERAL JEWELRY REPAIR

There are some jewelry repairs that are universal across the board. The majority of these jewelry repairs can be applicable to everything from rings to bracelets to necklaces.


Ultra-Sonic Cleaning:

The first step of every jewelry repair is cleaning the piece. This helps reveal any other potential needed repairs that weren’t visible while the jewelry was dirty. The ultra-sonic cleaner pulsates the dirt and grime out of a piece.


Rhodium Plating:

White gold is inherently yellow. Over time the rhodium that makes it white fades away revealing a natural yellow gold found within. Rhodium plating brings it back to that shiny white color that white gold should be. Depending on the condition of the jewelry it can be a fairly quick process. It requires the jewelry to be thoroughly cleaned, then polished before any plating can be done. This simple onsite jewelry repair can be done in about a week if there is no other issue with the piece.


Gold Polishing:

If you’ve noticed scratches forming on gold jewelry, bring it in to be polished out. White gold will need to be re-rhodium plated after being polished, due to the rhodium being removed during the polishing process.


Platinum Polishing:

While platinum is a strong metal, it is still susceptible to scratches and dings. When you notice that, bring your platinum jewelry in to be polished.


Jewelry Soldering:

Soldering involves the use of an open flame to attach gold or silver to itself. Solder itself is a mix of a precious metal and an alloy that has a lower melting point. Soldering works best when sizing rings.


Jewelry Laser Welding:

Laser welding involves the use of a laser to weld precious metals together. A laser is an amplified beam of light that when focused on a fixed point can weld with precision. Our laser welder has revolutionized the way we do repairs. A laser is extremely safe to use around all gemstones because it doesn’t heat the area around the weld. There is also no need to use solder when welding because the laser fuses the metal together without the use of solder.

RING REPAIR

Every day you use your hands so it’s no surprise that a ring may face a lot of activity. With that activity the ring becomes susceptible to damage. Even when you are extremely careful with your rings, over time ring repairs may still be necessary.


Tips & Prong Repair:

Over time the prongs that hold your gems in place can start to wear. It is better to get this fixed sooner rather than later to avoid your gem from falling out.


Ring Sizing:

One of the most common ring repairs is ring sizing. When a ring doesn’t fit we can size it up or down. This is done with the use of either a torch or laser welder depending on the rings structure.


Dive deeper into ring resizing with “How A Ring Gets Sized.”


Ring Guard:

A cost effective option for changing the size of the ring without getting too intrusive with the ring’s design is a ring guard. This base metal piece is inserted and folded inside the ring. It is adjusted to fit your finger. This is also an option if the ring spins on the base of your finger after it goes over the knuckle.


Channel Repair:

Channels are a way to secure diamonds and/or gemstones on a ring that snuggles the gems between two solid pieces of precious metal. This can be an extensive repair. If you notice your diamond or gemstone wiggling in the channel, make sure to bring it in as soon as possible to minimize the risk of losing them.

Collaboration of nursing & pumping

 Collaboration of nursing & pumping Pharmacists create a genuinely collaborative and team-oriented environment when they help interview and select nursing leaders, and vice versa. Involving stakeholders from other departments in the hiring and recruitment process can align the organization’s goals toward a true multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Improving collaboration between pharmacists and nurses will indeed increase job satisfaction, but patients are the ones who truly benefit. When pharmacists and nurses effectively reconcile patient medications, patient safety gets better.  While nurses maintain a comprehensive view of the patient's healthcare needs, including family and social factors, the pharmacist is in a unique position to oversee medications, often from multiple prescribers. Pharmacists evaluate appropriate doses and duration of medicine and interactions with other medications, assess cost alternatives, manage side effects, and monitor chronic health c...
